So, I got this bug to redo my portfolio. It'd been a while since it had been updated and I realized that the things I've showcased there really don't represent my best work now. I've done some pretty killer projects since I updated it...back in 2006? Maybe it was 2007. *ahem* Yeah, it's been a while.

Now, to me redoing my portfolio doesn't mean just updating the work I'm showcasing. Oh no. It's got to be a complete site over-haul. And because it's ME, well, it can't be UGLY. I'm an artist after all. It better be a pretty good looking site. Right? I have all the tools, I've done it before, it won't be hard. RIght?

So, I'm doing some research. There are a LOT of really cool sites out there. And a lot of really cool portfolio sites. Hmmm. Maybe I shouldn't do the standard, static site. *click* Oh, well you know, THAT's pretty cool.... *click, click* OOOOooOOOOo! Sweet! I wonder how I'd do that... *click* hmmm. That's cool. *click* Oh, I could totally do that. *click, click* Oh. Damn. How'd they DO that? *click* Oh, I really LIKE that. *click* I might have to steal that idea there. *click* You know I could do something similar only change *click* yeah, that, just like *click* shit, that guy's got TALENT *click* wow, just wow *click, click* That makes everything I've ever done completely suck *click* I'm gonna need to learn how to *click* oh, sweeeet! *click* God, I really SUCK!

So, two weekends later, several online tutorials that were cool but getting me NO WHERE and this site still doesn't even have a starting point. Well. I have a splash page. But nothing beyond that. Think I'll have to sit down and sketch out what I want, make a list of the features & cool do-dad's that I want to learn how to add and crack down on some research. Maybe *gasp* go to the library to see what sort of books they have.

This is going to take longer than planned.

But it's gonna be cool.

If it kills me.
